discovered ms. ofarim a few months ago, luckily, searching for versions of "bird on a wire"....she is rapidly becoming one of my top female vocalists of all time....thanks for posting...!!
Unusual staging to say the least but OMG this is one of the very best versions of this Porter great. Why oh why didn't she record this ?? Truly one of the great female voices in popular music of the past 50 years.
But she did - record it... for this show. How annoying is it that somewhere in some musty tape vault, there's a reel with this track on it doing nothing but sitting there .
Shoplifters of the world unite! Record company heists must now be planned.
I like Rachel's version of this song better because in my opinion her interpretation of the song was stronger and better, but in my opinion, overall, Esther was one of the best singers of the 20th century.
GREAT - and such a pity, it's not available on lp/cd... oh - and NOW I finally know, where CAROLA got that windmachine from, that she always uses!! :-)
Strange dear, but true dear, When I'm close to you, dear, The stars fill the sky, So in love with you am I. Even without you, My arms fold about you, You know darling why, So in love with you am I. In love with the night mysterious, The night when you first were there, In love with my joy delirious, When I knew that you could care, So taunt me, and hurt me, Deceive me, desert me, I'm yours, till I die..... So in love.... So in love.... So in love with you, my love... am I....
Like her voice! This is SO James Bond theme song material! Maybe it was...
